(yeah!) The cupboard is empty,
the well is dry
My pockets are dusty,
but I won't cry
I walk down these tracks in the pouring rain
Just trying to outrun this heavy chain
Oh, the wind is howling cold (so cold)
And this story is getting old
Hard times knocking at my back door
(knock, knock) But I ain't laying down on this floor
I got fire in my belly,
iron in my stride Hard times,
you got nowhere left to hide!
They took my house,
they took my land
But they can't take the fire in my hand
I'll strike a match,
I'll light the dark
From this little coal,
I'll make a spark
Hard times knocking at my back door
(oh yeah!) But I ain't laying down on this floor
I got fire in my belly,
iron in my stride Hard times,
you got nowhere left to hide!
No where left to hide!
(no where) Hard times,
your day
is
done!
